The problem here is that he gave the bloodthirsty media a “quote” and they ran with it. Who didn’t know he was kidding. This guy is like Jared Allen in Minny…they are just different cats. Stop stifling these guys.

That’s a darned good comparison. They’re both irreverent and fun loving and likely to say things at times that raise eyebrows but they don’t mean any harm, and they are quite serious about their profession.

It’s been pointed out to me elsewhere that WW could have also been poking at some of the local media that was harping on his lack of catches early on and speculating that BB has it in for him, etc. That makes as much sense as anything. WW and TB are great friends but WW is the one who put it out there exactly why TB was dog cussing him against Buffalo when TB wouldn’t reveal it.

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 00:13:40 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1366904#comment-2049045After all the years ending in a loss, which 2012 inevitably will also – the question is: why does anyone still care what Bill and Welker think, or say about each other???

It’s going to end in a loss. Doesn’t matter if its December, January, February – as sure as the sun rises, their season is going to end in a loss.

So do everyone a favor – stop acting like its 2002 and everyone is worried about the awesome Boston Pats. They’ve been exposed as cheaters — and worse yet — they’ve been exposed as serial choke-artists.

All their little jokes just really don’t matter anymore.

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 00:06:47 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1366904#comment-2049029yeah.. too bad the NFL is a billion dollar business, run by multi million dollar owners who during a course of business usually don’t have a sense of human, this would also flow (heavily) downhill (to the Coach). A lot of (newly) created player millionaires don’t understand that formality (since most have a heck of lot of money just dumped on then in a very short period of time. Good luck with that, Notice another receiver like Steelers’ Wallace didn’t say a word during his ‘hold out’. Tweet and facebook accounts don’t help much either in these situations. ahhhh.. to be wealthy

You already have to face Brandon Browner, the best corner not named Revis!!!

It wouldn’t surprise me to see him warming the bench for the 1st quarter in Seattle next week. Evidently,he didn’t learn from last year. I love Welker,and if it was anyone but Belichick,I wouldn’t care what he says. Wes,please shut it from here on out.

And besides, if they don’t want you, you can always come back to the Dolphins and make that jersey that I bought, at the stadium, a week before your trade, relevant again.

If anybody was confused about this being his last year in Pats land, you shouldn’t be now. Doesn’t matter if he catches 300 passes. It’s been great, good luck in the future.

Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:23:21 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1366904#comment-2048727That’s today’s society for you. Apologize to the people who don’t like something, or don’t get it. Retract and say things the way they would prefer you to say it. People are a bunch of wussies these days. Comedians are even taking heat for what they say in a comedy club. Ridiculous. And since when do people in Boston not get a joke? They are one of the best cities to catch a comedy show and crap like this gets to them? Again, ridiculous.

Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:16:54 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1366904#comment-2048719Just a point of clarification – Welker was benched for the first quarter of the playoff game against the Jets because at the beginning of the week Belichick *told* the players NOT to give the opposition any bulletin board material.

Welker then proceeded to give the Jets bulletin board material.

It’s unclear at this time if BB said “no joking” at any point this year, but I’m sure we’ll find out come Sunday.
